I caught up briefly with the vice chairman here as this hearing is set to get underway. He emphasized that they are trying to make sure they show americans that their investigation into russian meddling is credible, bipartisan, even nonpartison. Now of course the question here, one that we may not get into too much depth today is of course whether or not there were Trump Campaign associate who is commu who communicated with russians during the campaign. I heard James Langford say this morning he does really want to get to the bottom of it.

Neil gorsuch steps into the spotlight as his confirmation hearing gets underway. Thursday, house lawmakers will vote on the republican plan to repeal and replace obamacare. The question remains can trump win over health care holdouts inside his own party . Just in to cnn, three of those holdouts were spotted meeting with the white house senior staff yesterday in maralago, florida.

Health care expected to be a main focus for him, we will begin this hour with the confirmation hearing for u. S. Supreme Court Nominee neil gorsuch. Garrett tenney is live for us at the white house, how much resistance do we expect to see from democrats . Not as much as you typically expect, democrats had been so busy keeping up with the other political battles over the past few months, everything from the confirmation hearings to the Health Care Bill as well as the president s travel ban. But there has been a bit of renewed saberrattling over the last few days by senate democrats, many of whom are still upset with republicans over president obamas supreme Court Nominee Merrick Garland who never got a hearing
